HEATH, OF CHARLOTTE, NORTI-IOABOLINA, ASSI GNOR TO BAXTER-LANE PAPER CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK CLOTH WINDING BOARD Application filed August 15,-1931.. Serial No. 557,294.

This invention relates to improvements in cloth winding boards. Cloth of various kinds is wound upon these articles for shipment, packing, storage and display. Most of such boards or holders are of complicated and expensive construction, and it is a purpose of this invention "to sup-ply a board which is simple in construction, cheap to make and in which ample space is provided for labels or other printed matter or indicia upon the ends thereof.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, this invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and then sought to be defined in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof and which shows, merely for the purpose of illustrative disclosure, a preferred embodiment of my invention, it being expressly understood, however, that various changes may be made in practice within the scope of the claims without digressing from my inventive idea.

In the drawing Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a cloth winding board constructed according to my invention with cloth wound thereon.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical cross sectional view of the same.

Figure 3 is a front elevation'of the board without any cloth wound thereon, the left hand end of the figure being in cross section to facilitate the disclosure.

Referring now to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the body of the board or holder which is preferably of elongated rec'- tangular shape, although the shape may be varied in accordance with the cloth or other article to be stored or displayed, and which may have its edges rounded or bevelled. This body is preferably composedof chip or straw board or some other suitable material and one or both sides, if desired, may be covered or lined withpaper or any other suitablefinishing material. This body is relatively thin and in order to build up the ends to strengthen and reinforce the board or holder as a The label may be pasted directly upon the.

end of the holder as a whole, or preferably as shown in the drawing, may be secured 7 upon both the top and bottom surface of the built up end portion as'well as on the end of the holder as a whole- This label is designated by the reference character 3. In the preferred form this'holder is made by fastening the body 1, the end strip or member 2 all together at one and the label member 3 and the same time by means of a plurality of spaced staples, rivets and the like 4. It is to be expressly understood that while I prefer to staple or rivet these parts together, they may be glued or pasted together or otherwise connected.

This provides a cloth winding board or holder which is very simple in construction and cheap to make and strong and rigid and reinforced at the end edges in such a way as to provide a substantial thickness of material sufiicient to receive indicia or markings which identify the material wrapped upon the board or holder. The indic ia or markings are usually placed upon a label 3 which is secured in position as described. This label preferably extends over the entire end surface of the board or holder and when the article is completed, the parts are all permanently secured together in a strong integral construction.

What I claim is:

1. A cloth winding board or holder having its ends built up inthickness by means of a narrow reinforcing strip secured to one side thereof, said reinforcing strip being positioned at the end edge of the board or holder as a whole so as to provide a substantial end thickness, and a label member secured to the end of the board or holder as a whole.

2. A cloth winding board or holder having its ends built up in thickness by means of a 5 narrow reinforcing strip secured to one side thereof, said reinforcing strip being positioned at the end edge of the board or holder as a whole so as to provide a substantial end thickness, and a label member secured to the end of the board or holder as a whole and having portions extending over the top and bottomsurfaces of the holder as a whole, and a plurality of staples connecting said label member and said narrow strip to said board or holder.

3. A cloth winding board or holder having its ends built up in thickness by means of a narrow reinforcing strip secured to one side thereof, said reinforcing strip being positioned at the end edge of the board or holder as a whole so as to provide in conjunction with the board or holder an increased end thickness and surface sufficient to form a backing and support for a label.

4. A cloth winding board or holder having its ends built up in thickness by means of a narrow reinforcing strip secured to one side thereof, said reinforcing strip being positioned at the end edge of the board or holder as a whole so as to provide a substantial end thickness, and a label member secured to the end of the board or holder as a whole and having portions extending overthe top and bottom surfaces of the holder as a whole.

In testimony that I claim the fore oing, I have hereunto set my hand this 11th ay of August, 1931.
